Teeth grinding, primarily, is the result of masseter muscle’s ‘nocturnal overdrive.’ It creates the need to relieve the tension through grinding one’s molars. Botox works by reducing tension in the masseter muscle.

The results are usually apparent within 10 days. However, patients typically won’t see noticeable improvement in teeth grinding until about three months after the treatment. Repeat injections are needed approximately every 9 months.

The Benefits

The treatment results in dramatic improvement in teeth grinding after only three visits. Teeth grinding, over long periods of time, can deteriorate molar surface area, resulting in chipped enamel. Patients also notice that tightness, pain and jawline tension is greatly reduced over time.
